Oh So Rosie!

Maybe I should just change my blog to a Lush blog because (surprise, surprise)I have another Lush review. A few years ago Lush brought out the hot oil treatment masks. I tried a few of them at the time and whilst I did feel they worked they were massive pain to get out, to the point where 3 shampoos would only just removed the product. However the hot oil treatments have been re-formulated, so I thought I would try the product again to see if the product (which had amazing potential) had finally forfilled it’s potential. First off I love the stick which has diagrams of how to use the mask on it and Lush have ditched the cardboard packaging around the block of the solid oil.  Having read the instructions online it said to fill to the top of the mug, but leaving some room. The solid oil melted very quickly, something, which from memory of the previous ones took a lot longer.  Whilst I was reading the instructions online I read some reviews and some people were s...

Oh guys, another month and another favourites. Where is this year going? Lets discuss what I've been loving for this month! Also as a tiny side-track, don’t you find that favourites take forever to write? I don ’ t know I struggle to keep things short and sweet sometimes, and I find it takes me a little longer to write these kind of posts, but anyway. September has been a busy one and here is my round up.  I mentioned on my instagram that I was loving this Jo Malone baby fragrance. There is just something so comforting about the Wood Sage and Sea Salt scent. And I don’t know why, maybe it reminds me of home and living on an island. As much as I love and I am using it pretty much every other day I am wondering whether to get the candle as it is a little more of a home scent.  Sea salt sprays I always find these to be a little hit or miss. However the Lush Sea Spray Hair mist is a winner for me. I tend to now use it when my hair is damp and then finish off ...

Who doesn't love it when new Lush products come out?! ( apart from the fact it's super sad that they always discontinue your favourite product). I was so intrigued to try the Lush Jelly masks, I've never been a fan of the shower jellies as they seem more hassle than they are worth, however I jsut wanted to give the Jelly masks ago. I was hoping to choose one that would 100% suit my skin type. But the only one that was left was FOMO, which is kind of ironic.  Now I have actually fallen in love with this product. I think that whilst this is directed towards calming and soothing the skin, I think it's the perfect mask if you're not after anything directed to your skin type. For example it won't massively moisturise or be super cleansing. But it does help to add a bit of life into dull looking skin. So if youre stuck on which one to choose, or have sensitive skin I would definitely give this one a whirl! It has calamine to calm, rose to so...

  Jo Malone, is very much a brand that I have spent many an hour lusting over. I love going into Jo Malone stores to have a look at the perfumes I would love to add to my collection (I also take the boyf with me for a hopeful tactic to get a new perfume (this never works)). However Jo Malone is often a very highly spoken brand but a brand I know little about.  When Katie from Katie Kirk Loves contacted me and asked if I would like to attend a bloggers event at Chichester I jumped at the chance. Firstly because, hello Jo Malone. And secondly I love meeting new bloggers in my area. When the event started we were served sparkling wine with redcurrant and grapefruit in – it was delish! We were left to have a nose around the store with our cameras. There were literally 12 girls all snapping away and spritzing perfume. I felt having 12 of us really worked well as nothing was too over crowded and there was enough time and room for everyone to take all the pho...

So I drafted this post up before L’Oreal’s views on ‘diversity’ were released via a tweet to the world. I did think that perhaps I wouldn’t review this product because I don’t agree with the way that L’Oreal has handled the situation with sacking their first transgender model; Munroe  Bergdorf. However, I will still be reviewing this product, because as a product it is worth reviewing.  For the last year I have been pretty loyal to Maybelline's Lash Sensation. Which, I still do love. However when my last Lash Sensation was getting a bit dry and old, I thought it would be time for something new. So, Say hello to Paradise Extatic. L’Oreal’s new mascara on the make up aisle. In all honesty the last thing on my mind was that it was rose gold packaging. I had seen a few good reviews and comments about Paradise Extatic and thought I'd give it a go.  This mascara is a lengthening and volumizing mascara, where as my beloved Lash Sensation helped to c...

I don’t think I’ve ever done an empties post in my entire life. And I’m kind of excited to-do this! In all honesty I've never done one because, I either take far to long finishing other things off. Or I just can’t be bothered to hoard empty bottles. Ultrabland I absolutely loved this product and whilst I haven’t re purchased it, I will be doing so when Autumn/ winter comes around. Ultra bland is perfect for sensitive skin types, who also need a product that is effective at removing makeup. Liz Earle Rose and Lavender Cleanse and Polish I loved using this in the morning and evening, its seems to be slightly gentler than the original Cleanse and Polish, which is something which I love about it. The original Cleanser in winter sometimes messes up my skin. Rose and Lavender helps to balance my skin and is also pretty good at removing makeup. Lush Ocean Salt I was dubious about this one, I did end up loving it but at the beginning I wasn’t 100...

So blogging world. There have been a few blog posts saying the blogging world is broken and that it's shit. Yes we have lots of new bloggers. But this is the same as having loads of clothing stores in a town, they offer the same thing but they are all slightly different.  When Urban Decay/Benefit/Mac release something new, beauty bloggers go wild, obviously there will be posts on the same product but they'll all be slightly different (unless there is an idiot out right copying). There will be a few who are only buying the new release to review it and then sell 6 weeks down the line (I mean that kind of sucks). But it's not hurting anyone as long as his or her review is genuine, and honest; it isn’t really my business to question why they sell a palette 6 weeks later, but whatever. White backdrops, Marble Flat lays and Rose Gold everything. You know these are? Trends. This is the same as seeing bomber jackets, embroidery and Nike trainers everywhere; it is ...
